Notes:
The Coral Beauty is one of the most popular dwarf angelfish, known for its vibrant blend of deep blue and fiery orange. It adapts well to captive life, is relatively hardy, and is often more reef-safe than other dwarf angels, though individual behaviour varies. A well-fed Coral Beauty is less likely to nip at corals. Provide plenty of rockwork for grazing and shelter.

Why We Like It:
Strikingly beautiful, hardy, and active, the Coral Beauty Angelfish is a true reef classic. Its combination of bold colour and manageable care makes it a favourite choice for both beginner and experienced reef keepers.
